Story
We adopted Fenrir (Fennie) as a puppy from a breeder. He is just over 2 years old and crate trained. He loves his humans but does not do well with little kids as he has become too reactive to my little boy. He loves to play fetch, knows sit, lay down, crate, shake (both paws). He also loves to cuddle and is protective. With his level of reactiveness and separation anxiety I do not feel like I am giving him what he needs. With his aggressive toward smaller kids (due to the loud noises and fast movements) he needs to have a calm home without kids or maybe just teens and older. This was a devastating decision for us but if I love him then I need to give him to a home who can train him or create the environment he needs.

Story
Hello, My name is Artemis! I’m a hefty girl my current family loves me but I keep jumping on everyone and hurt them but not on purpose. I’ve tried training and I’m too headstrong. I’ve never hurt a human but I’ve had issues with the other dogs at home. I’ve tried to be a good sister but I get very jealous of attention. I do love people so much I think I’m a tiny lap dogs ( but what big dog doesn't.) This is why I would do best in a home with someone who doesn’t have other dogs. I LOVE cats and LOVE my kids. I just don’t know my strength. If you’re looking for a lovable land hippo who needs a home that’s a good fit reach out to my family.

Story
Hi there, I’m Fletcher!Oh boy, where do I even start? My name’s Fletcher, and I’m pretty sure I was sent straight from heaven to find you. I’m a Collie mix with the fluffiest fur you’ve ever seen (trust me, it’s perfect for snuggles), a big ol’ smile that never quits, and a wiggly little booty that can’t help but dance when I see someone I love—which is, well, everyone!I’m pretty new here at FDHS, but I’ve already got the humans completely smitten. They keep calling me an “angel baby” and a “perfect floofy gentleman,” which sounds about right. I was such a good boy during my intake exam (no complaints, just tail wags!) and I’ve been nothing but sweet, polite, and gentle to all my caregivers. They say I’ve got a heart of gold, and I think they might be right.Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m still working on this whole “leash” thing. It makes me a little nervous, but I promise I’m trying my best. With a bit of patience, some encouragement, and maybe a few treats (I’ll do anything for snacks), I just know I can learn. I’m a smart boy, after all!I’ve been super friendly with the other doggies here—no grumpies, no fuss, just tail wags and happy vibes. I haven’t met any kitties yet, but everyone here says I’m so sweet and gentle that I’ll probably get along with just about anyone.So, here’s the deal: I’m ready to love you with my whole floofy heart. I’ll be your snuggle buddy, your cheerleader, your very best friend. If you’ve got room in your life for a sweet, wiggly fluffbutt like me, submjt an adoption application for me. I’ll be here waiting, practicing my best smile just for you!Love,Fletcher
